NE-4100 Series User’s Manual

Initial IP Address Configuration

Serial Console (19200, n, 8, 1)

You may use the RS-232 console port to configure the IP address for NE-4100 Series modules. We suggest using MOXA PComm Terminal Emulator, which is available free of charge as part of the MOXA PComm Lite program suite, to carry out the installation procedure, although other similar utilities may also be used. (Please go to www.moxa.com to download the installation program for PComm Lite.)

To begin with, use the serial cable to connect the NE-4100 module to your computer’s serial port.

1.Connect the RS-232 DEBUG (P1) serial port located on the evaluation board (NE-4100-ST, NE-4110-ST, or NE-4120-ST) for NE-4100 module directly to your computer’s male RS-232 serial port.

2.From the Windows desktop click on Start % Programs % PComm Lite % Terminal Emulator.

3.When the PComm Terminal Emulator window opens, first click on the Port Manager menu item and select Open, or simply click on the Open icon.

4.The Property window opens automatically. From the Communication Parameter page, select the appropriate COM port for the connection, COM1 in this example, and 19200 for Baud Rate, 8 for Data Bits, None for Parity, and 1 for Stop Bits.

5.From the Property window’s Terminal page, select ANSI or VT100 for Terminal Type and then click OK.

If you select Dumb Terminal as the terminal type, some of the console functions—especially the “Monitor” function—may not work properly.

6.Type any character to switch automatically from data mode to console mode.

7.Start configuring the IP address under Networking Settings. Refer to step 4, Telnet Console, for the rest of the IP settings.
